[314]
Now by these events we may learn what concern God hath for the affairs
of mankind, and how he loves good men, and hates the wicked, and destroys
them root and branch; for many of these kings of Israel, they and their
families, were miserably destroyed, and taken away one by another, in a
short time, for their transgression and wickedness; but Asa, who was king
of Jerusalem, and of the two tribes, attained, by God's blessing, a long
and a blessed old age, for his piety and righteousness, and died happily,
when he had reigned forty and one years; and when he was dead, his son
Jehoshaphat succeeded him in the government. He was born of Asa's wife
Azubah. And all men allowed that he followed the works of David his forefather,
and this both in courage and piety; but we are not obliged now to speak
any more of the affairs of this king.
